We're reasonably confident this is what a cloak looked like, you can't always be 100% sure, but there's enough historical evidence to show we're not a million miles away.
This was filmed on location in Israel.

"Cloak.
A cloak is an item of clothing worn in Jesus’ time
People make cloaks from a large square piece of cloth. Cloaks are long and sleeveless and reach to the ankles. People wear cloaks over all their other clothes.
Cloaks are different because they are bigger and loose-fitting.
They do not have belts.
Usually men rather than women wore cloaks in biblical times.
Men wore cloaks to keep warm and look nice.
Travellers wore cloaks to protect them from bad weather.
People took the cloak off when they worked in the fields.
A cloak is also known as a robe or mantle."

What is the Video Bible Dictionary?
How do you explain what a desert wilderness is to someone who’s only ever lived in a jungle? Or how can a person understand what a winnowing fork is when they’ve never seen one?
The Video Bible Dictionary is an ambitious project to film items, objects and places mentioned in the Bible which will be collated into a single resource (a dictionary of sorts) to help people understand and read the Bible; basically what the things and places in the Bible really look like.
Who’s it for?
The primary audience is for Oral Preference Learners, however everyone and anyone will benefit from a more literal understanding of actual places and items from the Bible.
What’s an Oral Preference Learner?
A person who prefers to listen, learn and pass on information orally rather than through reading (most of us, right?). This ‘person’ finds context critical in understanding the world around them, hence every video in the Video Bible Dictionary will show the item, object and place in context of a person.
By way of an example; do you remember those old school textbooks which showed a silhouette of a dinosaur with a silhouette of a person standing next to them? It gave you an understanding of how big the dinosaur was compared to a person, right? This is the same thing.
Why do this?
The Video Bible Dictionary is part of a larger project to provide a resource to support the local church around the world as they teach and share Jesus with those who have yet to hear about Him.
Who do you work for?
This project is being produced by SRV in partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators and ETEN (short for ‘Every Tribe Every Nation’).
Who am I?
My name is Mark Murfitt, I live in the UK and it’s my privilege to produce and direct these videos as well as to oversee the script writing and media production for this project.
Is something like this really necessary?
Absolutely.
For many people, in both developed and developing countries, much of what we’re videoing isn’t known, understood or believed to actually be real.
